Unbeaten European giants Bayern Munich will take on last year Champions League finalists Atletico Madrid at the Vicente Calderon in Spain in their second group D game.
Record breaking Carlo Ancelotti's (He is the first manager to win all first eight games at the club)
Bayern Munich are the favorites with respect to form as they are yet to drop a point all season while letting in only one goal.
Atletico Madrid though equally unbeaten this season have suffered some slip-ups most notably against Leganes and have not really been convincing even when they win. However their trademark defense have been on top form keeping 19 clean sheets in their last 24 home games.
Wednesday champions league predictions, bet tips
Bayern Munich learnt the hard way last season of the Spanish giants' strength at home as they were knocked out in the semi finals and will be itching to get back at Diego Simeone's men.
In form attackers Robert Lewandowski and Franck Ribery should start while Xabi Alonso should lead the midfield and Hummels and Boateng would make up the defense while World No 1 Manuel Neuer would guard the sticks.
Antoine Griezmann and Fernando Torres are both expected to start in an attack minded lineup for Atletico. Centre back mainstay Diego Godin will coordinate the defence while experienced midfielder Gabi would need to be alert to nullify the threat of Arturo Vidal and Douglas Costa.
My predictions.
Low scoring game
Bayern to win
